Millennium Support

Two of the most popular support groups on the wellness portal of the MyMillennium app are Millie Let's Get Healthy and Millie Mind Matters. The company also has an employee assistance programme and provides other wellbeing initiatives, such as a cycle-to-work scheme and yoga sessions.
Managers discuss results of surveys with their teams. The combination of these listening groups and the survey results enables them to create an action plan that is specific to their teams. It has led to managers thinking differently about how and when they hold team meetings, how they communicate and about team-building events.
Talent programmes are populated through bi-annual reviews. Everyone has a regular one-to-one "developing talent" discussion. Those who are identified as having potential for more senior roles are put forward for fast-track talent programmes that consist of six workshops, coaching and a business project. The learning content is available to all staff.

New Street Consulting Group

Cross-business coffee catchups, which were arranged as one-to-ones between people who would not typically engage with one another, have led to collaborations between departments on projects. As well as monthly all business updates and quarterly newsletters, the company also introduced Yammer as a way of highlighting the work of a different team each month.
The e-learning system PiiQ allows staff to access thousands of courses. The company also uses the software to upload its own training sessions and webinars so that they can be accessed at any time. During the pandemic many employees have chosen to learn a new language.
In 2021 the organisation placed a focus on their continuation to donate time and resource, rather than the usual fundraising activity. Employees were encouraged to volunteer during working hours, with one team member using their time to deliver prescriptions to elderly and high-risk members of their community.

LifeSkills Solutions

External education consultants visit every centre twice a year to train and advise staff. The company also uses a Business Coaching Programme to give its managers foundational skills in coaching and mentoring. It also invests in teaching qualifications for trainee teachers and provides Growth Mindset Training to foster resilience.
LifeSkills have contributed to many of the good causes where funds have been raised, for example one staff member completed a 3-peaks challenge raising over £3,000, whilst others have participated in fundraisers for a Refuge charity to support women and children who have faced abuse and domestic violence, as well as donating items to Ukraine.
All Managers receive support through regular phone calls and through zoom online meetings by their line managers/senior management for their roles, workload and for mental wellbeing. This works effectively for coaching and mentoring as well on regular basis to solve any issues and to keep all managers engaged for supporting staff companywide.

BrightHR

Feeling happy and comfortable at work is a priority for BrightHR — it listens to what people need and finds out how it can make them feel most comfortable when in the office. It provides screen stands, footrests, standing desks, and everyone gets a supportive desk chair.
Team members have been given more face-to-face time with their managers, after they asked for it in a staff survey. Based on feedback, the company also implemented more regular and relaxed meetings, as well as twice-yearly performance reviews, giving staff a space to discuss their experiences and ideas and build stronger relationships with managers.
Regular "lunch and learn" sessions mean teams can get together to share knowledge and boost team spirit and collaboration. They are also a valuable way of supporting professional development as mentoring from the senior team, including the chief executive, Alan Price, is on offer.
